That is unless he is a Pro with his livelihood depending on it or has far more spare cash than me and many others. How many venues let you wander in with a 400 f2.8 unless again you are a pro with a pass? Perhaps I should have said as fast as possible within whatever his budget is.

He does'nt have to use expensive Canon AF lenses though, does he
I was referring to using manual focus primes like the The Nikon 35mm f1.4 Ai-S or Carl Zeiss 35mm f1.4, FD 85mm f1.2 L and Sigmatel Multi Scalmatic 135mm f1.8...this lot can be bought together for a darn sight less than the £896 cost of the 70-200 f2.8 L, even indluding the cost of any necessary mount adapters.
